Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 5 Inspection

While thinking about it, his heart felt as if it was on fire, and Wufeng urged the horse to move forward. Although exhausted, Wufeng still had no intention of taking a break, and the guards who followed followed closely behind Wufeng's galloping horse, and soon crossed the border of Longdong and entered the border of Bonan Mansion in Northwest County. .

As soon as he stepped into his territory, Wufeng felt that his mood was much more at ease, and an inexplicable sense of relaxation permeated his heart, as if even the plants and trees that had no difference seemed to be much more cordial. It's a psychological effect, but Wufeng still feels that even his fatigue has disappeared a lot. Forty miles into Bonan Mansion is an important checkpoint in the southwest corner of Northwest County - Yangmakou. The main military and government officials of Bonan Mansion who have already received the information have already welcomed Wufeng's arrival here.

Seeing a large group of civil and military officials gathered in front of Yangmakou Pass, Wufeng couldn't help frowning. He didn't like this kind of noisy scene at all. The old subordinates who came to greet him, all the gentry businessmen and ordinary people who came to greet him spontaneously showed sincere and eager expressions and heartfelt cheers, and the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared without a trace.

This is such a touching scene. How can I, Li Wufeng, He De, let so many people have such high hopes? their expectations! Many years later, he, who has become the emperor of the glorious empire, is still deeply moved by this scene. In his autobiography "Swinging the World", he also described this touching scene with heavy ink and heavy pen.

While greeting his subordinates enthusiastically, he also generously walked into the crowd and shook hands and hugged the long-admired merchants, farmers, and handicraftsmen to show goodwill, which aroused the already raging crowd With their frenzy, the situation suddenly became a little chaotic, and the dozen or so guards who accompanied them seamlessly complained even more. Such a chaotic situation was beyond their expectation, and under the current circumstances, it is impossible for Wufeng Being separated from the common people will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the people for worshiping Wufeng. They can only watch and listen to all directions and focus all their attention on observing possible dangers. Fortunately, the people who came to greet them are honest and honest people , they are only inspired by passion, and there is no other extraordinary behavior.

After finally getting out of the siege of the common people, Wufeng and many guards were already sweating profusely, waved goodbye reluctantly until Wufeng disappeared into the guard circle of officials and soldiers, these people longed to see The people who were revered as the protectors of the people in the northwest gradually dispersed.

At this time, Wufeng really spared no effort to formally meet with the officials of Bonan Mansion who had already prepared to report on their work. However, nothing can be seen from the face of Yang Zhengbin, the city guard of Bonan Prefecture, but Wufeng keenly discovered that She Nei and Yue Shan, the chief and deputy division heads of the Bonan Prefecture Security Division who came with him, were slightly happy. A hint of worry.

Wufeng's heart suddenly thumped, could it be that there was trouble in the battle situation on Taixuan's side? The reports of the next few people really confirmed Wufeng's guess that Jiayuguan had been captured by Kaman's army three days ago, and the details of the battle are still unclear. All the good mood was dispelled by this sudden news. The military and political leaders of Bonan who accompanied Wufeng to the Chengshou Mansion saw that Wufeng's face was sinking like water, so he didn't speak any more. Originally, he wanted to invite Wufeng to visit him The proud masterpiece - Yang Zhengbin, the city guard of the first glass factory in the entire empire that Bonan Mansion introduced, had no choice but to swallow his words secretly, and everyone followed Wufeng and his party silently.

A group of people sat down in the city guard's mansion, and Wufeng's face looked a little better. The fall of Jiayuguan really shocked Wufeng. Such a strong and dangerous fortress was breached overnight. This kind of thing is really unbelievable. Yu quickly concluded that this was an internal problem in the guarding army, and there was no internal response, so there was no need to even think about such a thing. Although he had already sat down in the meeting room in the city guard's mansion, Wufeng's thinking was still focused on Jiayuguan. On the matter of losing.

Everyone had already sat down, but seeing that Wufeng, who was seated at the top, was still lost in thought, he didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the Lord Duke who had just returned to the territory and received a blow from him. After quite a while, Wufeng woke up from his contemplation. Seeing that all the subordinates below were silently sitting in their seats waiting for him, Wufeng reacted. Hastily smiled apologetically and started his speech.

"Oh, I'm sorry everyone, I was a little distracted just now. Zhengbin, I won't stay in Bonan for a long time. The military situation ahead is urgent right now, so I won't say much else. The glass factory you introduced Look again when you have a chance. In addition, your high-level technical training school is worth promoting. It can greatly speed up the speed for workers to get familiar with the work, and can further absorb more farmers and unemployed people to participate in learning and training. As for the officials you mentioned The privatization of kilns, I think the pace will be slowed down temporarily, after all, those kilns with good benefits can bring great benefits to the government, but I don’t think I will make a decision on this issue, and you and Xiao Tang will discuss it in detail , I don’t make a conclusion.”

Wu Feng spoke concisely, and in just a few words he gave an overview of what Yang Zhengbin wanted to report, but at this moment he really didn't have much thought to ask about these economic issues, although he also knew that Bonan Under the management of Yang Zhengbin, the economy of the mansion has been flourishing, and the speed of development can only be compared with that of Guide Mansion. But Taixuan's war is raging, and he needs to rush to the front line immediately to decide how the entire Northwest, including Northern Luzon, should deal with the complicated and severe situation. Right now, he really doesn't have much time and energy to pay attention to these.

To be honest, Wufeng has considered any dangerous situation, but he really did not expect that Jiayuguan would fall in this short period of ten days, which made the situation in the northwest very difficult. The city of Taixuanfu is bound to send heavy troops. At least three divisions are needed to deal with the Kaman army that can go south and west to flank each other at any time, and a considerable number of troops must be deployed west of Taixuanfu for reinforcements at any time. , This will greatly restrain Wufeng's main force, and it will be difficult to deal with the upcoming Taiping Rebellion; and if Taixuanfu City is abandoned, not only will it face severe criticism from the empire, but it will also cause great dissatisfaction among the entire Northwest common people, especially the Taiping Rebellion. The people in Xuanfu have left an unfavorable impression of him, not to mention the rich and fertile territory and rich products of Taixuanfu, which really makes Wufeng a little bit excited. This is really a dilemma.

Yang Zhengbin, the city guard of a prefecture, was a little disappointed with Wufeng's haste. He originally wanted to report to Wufeng with many development ideas, especially the privatization of the official kiln that he was asked to postpone, but he also Knowing how much the loss of Jiayuguan would have an impact on the Northwest, he has always been inexplicably grateful to Wufeng for being able to break the rules and promote himself, a young man with no background and qualifications, to serve as the city guard of a prefecture, not because he wants to be an official , but Wufeng provided him with a stage where he could showcase his talents, which was what he admired and moved the most.

Three times, five divisions and two, Wufeng and his party solved the lunch. Although it was urgent, Wufeng still insisted on taking a look at the training situation of the Bonan Security Division. She Nei and Yue Shan, the chief and deputy division commanders, were inexplicably surprised.

Looking at the rows of energetic and radiant officers in front of him, the phalanx of soldiers with strict laws and distinctive armor, Wufeng couldn't help nodding and smiling with satisfaction. With a smile, all the uneasy heart was relieved. Compared with the soldiers of the Longdong garrison division I saw at Zheguguan, they are simply not the same. No matter in terms of morale, mental state, training speed and equipment, they are not at the same level.

"My lord, how do you feel? It won't be worse than Long Zizi's troops, right?" She Nei and Yue Shan looked eagerly, obviously looking at the Guide Guard Division led by Long Zizi and Hillman last time Incorporated into the Fifth Division of the Northwest Army Corps is still brooding.

Wufeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, it's been so long, and these two guys are still reluctant~IndoMTL.com~ But looking at the situation of the army in front of them, they are indeed qualified to say this, " That’s right, it’s really good, I think Bonan’s garrison division should be no worse than any of our troops in the Northwest and Northern Luzon.”

"Hmph, my lord, that's all you said, but why didn't you consider our division at that time? It's a mule or a horse out for a walk, I don't believe our division will be inferior to their Guide Guard division!" Schöne brought up the subject with a lot of grumbling.

"Yes, my lord, our division can accompany you to the end whatever you want. If you don't believe me, please invite them to have a try." Yue Shan also chimed in beside him.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, the matter is over, and it's not just you who are not convinced, I think Qi Berlin and Gao Ang, as well as Kang Jianguo and Yu Chibin seem to be Everyone looks eager to try. Everyone still has a chance, don't be in a hurry." Seeing that the two were still full of anger, Wufeng comforted him.

"My lord, don't lie to us, the Northwest Army is already full, so where is the space left?" She Nei immediately regained his energy when he heard that, and his eyes were fixed on Wufeng's face.

Yue Shan's heart was also moved, could it be that the adults will do something big when they come back?

Smiling faintly, Wufeng said noncommittally: "Well, although the Northwest Army Corps is fully staffed, can't we form another army? And our Northwest has a vast territory, can't we set up an independent division? Alright, I advise you two to do a good job of training with peace of mind, strengthen your combat readiness, and do your job well, and don’t think about anything else.”

When the two of them heard what Wufeng said, their hearts lit up, they exchanged glances and smiled knowingly, there is a joke!

Seeing the two of them beaming with joy, Wufeng smiled and shook his head, "How is the situation over there?" He turned his gaze to the east again.
